English term or phrase: hookups
- Here's one, honey. It's a guesthouse. Close to the beach. It's got parking, fridge and hookups.
- Why look for a guesthouse instead of an office?
- A guesthouse can be a great office. Plus, this one has hookups.

-> est-ce qu'il s'agit du câble ou de la TV satellite ? je ne suis pas très sûre de moi.
